If this is anything like T-Mobile's service I'd stay away. I'd frequently get downloads speeds of kbps and had frequent drop offs. Could not even stream YouTube many times.
depends on your area, outside of Chicago city limits I get 1.7gbps on my old s23 5g phone and similar speeds when acting as a hotspot when my xfinity internet goes down.

these are government subsidized and literally beg people to subcribe. they lose funding if they do not have enough subscribers. only way to get kicked off is if you're a business or reselling this stuff!

"Home Router" and "Hotspot" are two totally different devices. The "Home Router" being described as "portable" means in the sense of porting to another provider. The "Hotspot" runs from a battery and usb-c connection for "on the go".

The switch to a credit card type system probably saves them TONS of money. No printing the "coupons", no mailing on them, just digitally adding money to a card.
Plus a cut of those sweet sweet card swipe fees.

I'm sure you can connect this to a regular router. I did that with T-Mobile 5G hotspot. Just treat this as a modem.

Can the sim be used on a tablet to provide it connectivity to the internet? Or only to share internet to other devices from that tablet?
